Procession of people full of exuberance, in colorful costumes, playing music with shiny instruments stopped me on my tracks. It was a beautiful sunny day and the first thing I noticed were all those reflections in the instruments. I was fascinated how the colors and reflections vibrated on the polished metals. The need to capture the moment was immediate :)

Sound Reflections 2 watercolor on hot press by Meera Rao

These are two miniatures I painted along with Sound Reflections1 All three were in the "Small Works- Miniatures by the Tidewater Artists " show at the Charles Taylor Arts Center in Hampton from Oct 25-Nov 30 2014.

If you wait for inspiration you'll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street.

This is one of my three pieces that was selected for the "Small Works- Miniatures by the Tidewater Artists " show at the Charles Taylor Arts Center in Hampton from Oct 25-Nov 30 2014. ( I know I am way late in posting! ) Poets were invited to write a poem inspired by the artworks in the exhibition and the Arts Center hosted a poetry reading on Oct 30th in the galleries. Below is the poem by Dave Lego and I am thrilled that my piece inspired him :) The link on the title of the poem should take you to the audio recording of the poet reading his creation. Please let me know if the link does not work -- I have been working on embedding mp3 links on my blog which has been harder than I imagined. My heartfelt thanks to Dave for this poem.

About Me

I paint whatever captures my imagination in Watercolors and Color Pencils. I also enjoy photography. I try to bring to my art the philosophy, heritage and the tropical colors of India and the spirit of adventure and experimentation I find in my now home here in the USA. My goal is to paint often and have my blog as a place to share my adventures.
